ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Hello everyone and welcome, particularly to the Premier of Western Australia, Roger Cook, for what is our third Cabinet meeting here in WA since our election in less than two years ago. I promised to bring Cabinet here twice, so we've exceeded that with two meetings here in Perth and one of course up in Port Hedland. And this is my 18th visit to Western Australia, I've been to Perth and Port Hedland, Karratha, Kalgoorlie, Albany, Bunbury, Fitzroy Crossing, and other places as well in this great state of WA.

NATALIE LOCKE, HOST: Please be up standing. The Prime Minister is in the house.

SHAUN MCMANUS, HOST: Hello, sir. Good to see you.

LOCKE: Welcome back.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Wow. A level of respect I haven't always got in this studio. Moving into these close quarters…

LOCKE: I know, we’ve changed.

PRIME MINISTER: Yeah, you've changed.

NATHAN MORRIS, HOST: Sitting back down now, that's too close to exercising.

MATT KEOGH, MEMBER FOR BURT: Well, it’s great to welcome the Prime Minister here to Thornlie TAFE, the largest TAFE campus in the South Metro, and a really important facility here, providing Fee-Free TAFE courses across my local community here in Burt in the south east suburbs of Perth. We've got over 10,000, 14,000 people that work in trades, technical skills, often on the mines. We've got over 11,000 people working in personal support roles, whether it's NDIS, in our hospitals, aged care facilities, supporting people and kids in early childhood education.

GARY ADSHEAD, HOST: The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese joins me on the line. Thanks very much for your time, Prime Minister.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to be with you, Gary. And it's wonderful to be back here in Perth.

ADSHEAD: Sorry about the heat wave.

DEAN CLAIRS, HOST: Lisa, here we are on the 19 February, so we're five days beyond all the romantics who came out of the woodwork on Valentine's Day.

LISA SHAW, HOST; Valentine's Day was particularly special for our Prime Minister. We'll talk about that in a minute. But I think he must have seen we were having a couple of days of 43 degrees and thought, ‘I want me some of that’. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is with us. Hello.

CLAIRS: Morning, PM.

MARK GIBSON, HOST: Prime Minister, good morning. Welcome back to the West.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: G'day, Mark. It's wonderful to be here again back in Western Australia. I think I've now been here more than the three previous Prime Ministers combined. But I do love coming to WA. It's such an important state for our national economy and it's always a great place to visit.

GIBSON: It's also a very warm welcome for you, Prime Minister. Now -

VARUN GHOSH, SENATOR FOR WESTERN AUSTRALIA: Well, welcome to Hyde Park. My name is Varun Ghosh, I'm the newest Senator for Western Australia. We're very happy to give a warm welcome to the Prime Minister, to this lovely group of West Australian workers and members of the community to talk about Labor's tax cuts, Albo’s tax cuts here in Western Australia today.

FIONA PHILLIPS, MEMBER FOR GILMORE: Good morning everyone. Here in Nowra, at the New South Wales Labor Country Conference, I'm delighted to be here today with Anthony Albanese, the Prime Minister of Australia, coming to my hometown here, and delivering a wonderful address to members here at Country Conference. I'm thrilled to have Anthony here. It's been a huge couple of weeks in Parliament, particularly around tax cuts, where we know that 87% of taxpayers in Gilmore will be getting a bigger tax cut under Labor. So thrilled to hear the reception here today.

I begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet, and I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

It’s always good to be in Nowra. And it’s a pleasure to speak at the Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre.

If you’re at a loose end next Saturday night, come back here and see Boy & Bear. They’re a great band who come out of Marrickville.

It’s so important that the lifeblood of the arts flows through here in all its forms, whether it’s a band on tour, or a permanent fixture like Bundanon just up the river from here.

SHARON CLAYDON MP, MEMBER FOR NEWCASTLE: All right, that is brilliant. So that is the big welcome to Newcastle siren, Prime Minister, East End Boardriders have got the show underway. So delighted to have you back to Newcastle, and just this morning having an opportunity to meet with so many Novocastrians, from all different kinds of professions, who stand to benefit from the reconsideration of the stage three tax cuts.
